Geoben,

Thanks for the info on the WS. I’ll take a look at petopia again, but I’ll still have to decide about keeping the ghostsaber or not.

I picked the red lynx for the same reason you suggest, as that cat is only available in the BE starting zones.

So I'm guessing it might take a fraction of a second longer for some folks to notice or target, and that this could work to your advantage once in a while. Heck, I sometimes lose sight of where my cat is, which is a minor downside of this pet. Still haven't chosen a name, but glad to read someone else thought of Casper. :) I have been using the ghost saber from Darkshore, and while it won’t be less detectable in terms of stealthing in PvP, it is harder to notice when un-stealthed, especially against certain backgrounds.

I have the ghost saber, the red lynx from the BE starting zone, and a yellow-mane boar. <br/><br/>I really like them all, but unless Blizz gives another option, I might have to let one go eventually.<br/><br/>(At least we now have the training bug where we don't have to drop our third pet in order to train new skills!)<br/><br/>I REALLY like the red lynx, as I have never seen one on alliance on my server. (only the brown lynxes instead, since they are in outlands as well).<br/><br/>With the prowl effect stacking on top of the existing transparency, I might just have to keep him, but, as stated, if others can't see the effect, then maybe it won't help me anyway.. hmm...<br/><br/>So, with prowl on, your PVP opponent can't see you cat anyway, right?.. is there a reason then in pvp where the transparency would help?..<br/><br/>thanks!!<br/><br/>-- Halabar Thanks Paul!

The white ones are very unusual as pets as only the two rare spawns, Hayoc and Arash-ethis, are non-casters. And my hunter's windserpent, Arikara, is a quest spawn in 1kn that retains her cool spawning animation (poof!) when tamed.

Your cat is already undetectable under prowl. However, it could work in your favor if you're an mm hunter, they just might assume you don't have your pet summoned. lol<br/><br/>Krutang<br/>-Forgotten Coast As far as pvp goes, I don’t see it being an advantage.
